06 Folsom Blues w/ Intro

Beast

When the ice breaks I'll put her down
Pain comes softer in the sunlight 
When the ice breaks I'll bury her right 
It's tough to cry out in the rain

There's a beast hiding out in the trees
I don’t know why it's come here today
There's a beast hiding out in the shadows 
It surely has no plans for goodwill
There's a beast hiding out in the rain
I don’t know why it's come here today
There's a beast hiding out in the shadows
It surely has no plans for good will

When the ice breaks I'll put her down
Scars are made better out in the sunlight
When the ice breaks The hurt will come 
We'll have that time to share

I can't end it on a day like this
She can't leave me today

Beast(Intro) - When Violets Turn Grey

Mask  

distracted, beaten down
Everything left to catalyze  
Useless, spoken
Cast your wishes low

Tracing the lines in burns across the sky
Laying your hands out
Freedom drifting in rifts, shifting
mask the great crash

Distracted, cracked, open
Left the vision utopia
Frayed layn in shell
Cast your wishes low
distracted & broken
Everything left to catalyze  
Useless,  spoken
Cast your wishes low

Tracing the lines in burns across the sky
Laying your hands out
freedom drifting in rifts shifting 
mask the great crash

Tracing the lines in burns across the sky
Laying your hands out 
Freedom drifting through rifts shifting
mask a great crash
Tracing the lines in burns across the sky 
Laying your hands out 
freedom drifting in rifts shifting
As they mask a great crash...

Mask - When Violets Turn Grey

Tyrants monsters 
sociopathic mosquitoes in bed 
Villains rapists antiheroes 
 priests in vegan suits

Destiny is the will of the wicked
Ash burns under a vanilla sky

Tyrants monsters 
sociopathic mosquitoes 
Villains racists antiheroes 
killers in vegan suits 

Praise the elevators as they rise up
Raise your hands into the vanilla sky 
Watch as the elevators spend  spend
Raise your hands into the vanilla sky

Calm and softly...

Rise up 
Rise up 
rise up 
rise up

Ticks - When Violets Turn Grey

Moth Girl 

Here you come again
All Dark & mysterious 
Put your teeth away
This isn’t going to end like you think
Pretty little goth girl  
Pretty little moth girl

Im not at all who you think I am
A simple little fix
Vampire butterfly
Little Pet  monster 
Pretty little goth girl
Pretty little moth girl

I won’t be your 
morbid fascination 
I can see right through your bloody little eyes
I can feel it in your deep & salty stares
I wont be your  
victim...

Moth Girl - When Violets Turn Grey

Then Black(Intro) - When Violets Turn Grey

Claiming the Innocents 

daylight slowly burns
Burrows through closed up eyes
Brings to life forbidden flames
carefully Swollen inside
Innocently claiming the innocents 
 stirring twisted up prayers
Buried deep in the moonlight
Darkened    Known 

Shadows in the moonlight
Untrusting & cruel
Shadows in the sun 
damning & unfaithful
Innocently claiming the innocents
Horrors    Crimes
Casting a line of hope 
Catching  one of despair 
 
Taunted

Claiming The Innocents - When Violets Turn Grey

Candles
 
Hold on to those tears  
Let that flame go
Hold on to your fears
Like they hold on to you
Hold on to those years
Before the candles burn 
So much love for you
Bury it deep my friend

Hold on to those tears tight
So much love for you in this wicked place

Candles at your doorstep
Burn into the  sky
Another shooting star Across the ocean 
“On its way to mars” 
So much love for you in this wicked place
Candles at your doorstep

Hold on to those tears my friend
Let that fire go
Hold on to your fears
Like they hold on to you
Hold on to those years
Before the candles burn 
So much love for you my friend
Bury it deep 

Hold on to those tears so tight
The world will never know
Bury it deep my friend 
Hold on to those tears 
No need to cross that field of roses just quite yet
So much love for you in this wicked place

Candles at your doorstep
Burn into the  sky
Another shooting star Across the ocean 
“On its way to mars” 
So much love for you in this wicked place
Candles at your doorstep
